This is such a stunningly lyrical, poetic, achingly sensitive look at how our lives are interwoven in past generations, how the lives we live are forever connected to those of others, and how love is the fabric that connects us to them ... and everything. The wisdom here is extraordinary, and it stands as a gift for anyone who reads this.
Personally, most of my family was decimated during the Holocaust, so the warp and the weft of my past was terribly altered. And what was left of my family never had much to say about their lives, nor the lives of past generations. While I lack a strong connection to my own roots, I'm inspired by reading accounts by those who are blessed with a deeper connection to where they come from.
Larry, not sure what else to say but "thank you." Thank you for sharing that intimate piece of your story, and thank you for receiving the gift I had hoped to give to the world in this piece.
There are so many beautiful passages in here that I can’t keep track of them all. This is kind, thoughtful maturing happening before my eyes. Poetry.

Very well done!
